I once tried a “5000-calorie challenge” with a group. We combined hiking + swimming + HIIT across 12 hours. It is doable but leaves you drained and sore for days. Unless you’re training for something hardcore, I wouldn’t recommend it. Small daily deficits add up better.

In India, I recently shifted from Zerodha to Groww. Groww actually has a simple import feature where they request shares directly from the old broker. But you still need to sign and courier the DIS slip. Charges vary, usually ₹25–₹50 per ISIN. Worth checking with your old broker.

You’ll need to do an off-market transfer through your broker. Steps usually are: 1. Open a Demat account with the new broker if you don’t already have one. 2. Fill out a DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) with your old broker, mentioning the new Demat ID. 3. Submit it and wait 2–5 business days. Once processed, your shares will move to the new account. Make sure names and details on both Demat accounts match exactly—any mismatch will cause rejection.

When Facebook asks for ID to verify Marketplace access: 1. Go to the Account Verification link they provide. 2. Upload a clear photo/scan of government-issued ID (Aadhaar, license, passport). 3. Submit and wait—usually reviewed within 24–48 hours. Make sure details are visible and match your profile name. If rejected, they’ll tell you why so you can re-upload.

Another fun one: ask them to count how many times the letter F appears in a paragraph full of “of”s. Most people miss half of them and keep re-checking again and again.

If you’re talking about authenticity: - Buy only from their official stores or Ahmed Al Maghribi website. - Check packaging details—originals have embossed logos and batch codes. - Fake ones often smell weaker and don’t last long. If you’re in the UAE, they have boutiques in malls where you can test before buying.
